Altmetrics & Khulisa Journals

[Ina Smith]

Dear Khulisa Journal Editors and Journal Managers,

Our Altmetrics subscription costs around R112,000.00 per year for eight Khulisa journals. Not all 17 our Khulisa journals have this functionality. Is this something you require as part of your reporting, and does it/would it add value to your journals?

Especially in times when budgets are tight, yet there is increasing emphasis on article-level impact (Altmetrics) rather than journal-level impact (Journal Impact Factor), we would appreciate your input. 

Please indicate your preference by completing the 3 questions at: https://forms.office.com/r/QC1XWtCLAr (by 21 March 2025 please).

Thank you and kind regards,
Ina
